	Lots of people kindly reply to posts which are years old. Make sure you check the date in the original posting, and if it is more than a few weeks old try sending a message to the person by clicking on their name. They will not know you have posted unless they check, as they are not notified by Genes. Jan

	Sensible advice Jan, I have fallen into the trap many times. Just to clarify, if you send a message by clicking on their name, the is a Personal Message (known as a PM) and Genes will send them an email to say they have a message. Of course, their email address might be out of date or they might not check emails very often.
